Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, O Shaykh Salih, says: It is the custom of the common people that when a cup breaks or glass falls, they say "the evil has passed" or "the evil has gone." Is there a basis for this?
Answer:
There is no basis for this, there is no basis for this. Rather, when a person falls or something falls from him, he says "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah), because by doing so he is protected from the jinn harming him. He is protected from the jinn by saying "Bismillah." This is what is prescribed. Yes.
